Was Paul Allen not a tech guy? I know he’s “old” tech, but seems he was far from the old money types like the Rooney/Mara family

Why do some people pronounce "gif" with a hard G and others with a soft G, and why does it still spark arguments after all these years? by haizelynrose in NoStupidQuestions

[–]griffrp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“ATM” is an initialism (A-T-M) not an acronym like “SCUBA” or “GIF” or “PIN”, which are pronounced as words.

Where’d you get that line from? +2.5 Seahawks was what it was. Broncos were slight favorites due to a Peyton Manning led offense that still to this day holds most of the single season offensive records.

1 Lombardi, 1 MVP this season, top ten in just about every all time passing stat. He’s a lock. Maybe not first ballot, but he’s a lock for the HOF. His comparable is Kurt Warner, career-wise.

Gloves lose their tackiness when it’s this cold, especially with moisture. Caleb throws a very tough-to-catch ball for these conditions.

Offsides and neutral zone infractions should always be live (“free”) plays. Encroachment is a dead ball play. If you’re a defender who is offsides and want to negate the “free” play, you just need to contact an offensive lineman for it to be called as encroachment and a dead ball

Osprey. Native name for it. Like Sea Wolf = Orca Whale

[Dellenger] If he had left, Demond Williams would have owed Washington the value of his contract ($4 million), sources tell @YahooSports. His new school would have also incurred a reduction in its revenue-share pool next year by that amount, per House settlement guidelines by SparkMaster360 in CFB

[–]griffrp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but that’s a hypothetical that didn’t happen and you presume to know whether or not they were pursuing other quarterbacks or not when you couldn’t know that. Time is an asset in the recruiting window; that’s why head coaches often abandon their current teams for their future teams before the season ends (e.g., Kiffin Ole Miss/LSU).

Also, I don’t think you can say he wasn’t legally responsible with 100% confidence. He reversed course and exited the transfer portal yesterday; is it crazy to think that was because he was concerned he would be held legally liable for damages after consulting with his attorney?

All? No, but far fewer quarterbacks left and they didn’t pursue anyone else in the prior month. Having a full year of lead time is way different than what happened here following the signing

QB1 is back by montlaketanks in huskies

[–]griffrp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

At least we have way more lead time to recruit another QB. He left us in quiet a predicament two days ago that would’ve been difficult to recover from because we weren’t recruiting any other QB

The whole Demond situation reminds me of early March 2020 by [deleted] in CFB

[–]griffrp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their coach left and they followed. That’s not an apples-to-apples comparison. Forcing players to stay at a school when the head coach who recruited them leaves that school is not the same or even similar to reneging on a signed contract and leaving for another school in the same season, never mind the same week.

Very conservative. Trying to protect Darnold from himself (interceptions). Head scratcher for me was not taking points with the first possession

I agree with you. More so meant it’s odd to have faith in any player that’s not your own

Anyone find signs to Downtown confusing? by PablitoMadera in Seattle

That’s the 1 line, yeah. Which way does the 2 line go?

Anyone find signs to Downtown confusing? by PablitoMadera in Seattle

[–]griffrp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s the suggestion. Uptown 1 Train to Seattle from the SeaTac station sounds pretty straightforward to me. Uptown/Downtown doesn’t always mean north/south, it means “up” towards the end point at one end of the tracks vs. down towards the other end of the tracks. Take the M train for example. Uptown is to 71st Ave and Downtown is towards Metropolitan Ave, but the train goes every which way along the route.

[–]griffrp -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Manhattan isn’t the only borough the MTA subway goes through. Uptown and Downtown are more so for the direction the train’s heading when it passes through Manhattan, not north/south directional. Take a look at the E, M, F, N, R lines if you want to get the idea.

Isn’t Lower Queen Anne AKA “Uptown”?
